Brave Software, the company behind the niche Brave browser, earlier this month opened its digital currency-based reward system to YouTube content creators, giving users a way to send influencers small amounts of cash.

"Audiences can use the Brave Payments system to reward their favorite YouTube creators with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT)," read an unsigned post to the company's blog. "YouTube viewers can either distribute contributions based on the time they spend viewing material or by 'pinning' a set amount for a particular channel."
